Don’t give up

Write about something for which you feel strongly.

I feel strongly about not giving up. There have been many moments in my life that I wanted to, but in the end something inside me was always stronger, nudging me to pick myself up again and start over. There’s a poem called “don’t quit“, that has often inspired me. One of the lines says “rest if you must, but don’t you quit”. That’s how I feel. Sometimes life feels overwhelming and I want to throw in the towel. And after I’ve dropped everything and let the dust settle again, I start picking up the pieces one by one and try again. I think that’s the most important part. It doesn’t matter how many times you feel like you failed or have given up, what matters is that the number of times you picked yourself up again is always one higher.
